b) This power tool is not recommended for grinding, sanding, wire brushing or cutting. Work for which the power tool is not designed can pose a hazard and cause injury.
c) Do not allow loose parts of the polishing hood or its fastening ropes to rotate freely. Hide or shorten all loose fastening threads. Loose and rotating threads can pinch your fingers or get caught on the workpiece.
d) Do not use accessories that are not specifically designed and recommended by the manufacturer of the tool. Just because the accessories can be connected to your electric vehicle does not guarantee safe operation.
e) The rated speed of the accessory shall be at least equal to the maximum speed indicated on the power tool. Accessories that run faster than their rated speed can fly apart.
f) The outer diameter and thickness of the accessories must correspond to the rated power of your power tool. Incorrectly dimensioned accessories cannot be are not sufficiently protected or controlled.
g) The mandrel size of wheels, flanges, support plates or other accessories shall: fit on the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with holes that do not do not fit the fasteners of the power tool, run out of balance, vibrate. Vibrations and can lead to loss of control.
h) Do not use damaged accessories. Before each use, check accessories such as .B grinding wheels for chips and cracks, support plates for cracks, tear or excessive wear, wire  brushes for loose or cracked wires. If the power tool or accessories have fallen off, inspect it for damage or insert an undamaged accessory part. After inspection and installation, keep yourself and bystanders off the level of the rotating accessories and run the power tool at maximal idle speed for one minute. Damaged accessories usually break apart during this test period.
I) Wear personal protective equipment. Use Je face protection after application, Safety goggles or safety helmet. If necessary, dust mask, hearing protection, gloves and work apron that can catch small abrasive or piece splinters or stop workpiece splinters. The eye protection must be able to protect against flying debris that arises during the various works. The dust mask or respirator must be able to filter the particles produced during your work. Prolonged exposure to high-intensity noise can lead to hearing damage.
j) Keep bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Everyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or that of a broken accessory can fly away and cause injuries outside the immediate working area.
k) Position the cable outside the rotating accessory. If you lose control, the cable can be cut or pinched, and your hand or arm can be pulled into the spinning accessory.
l) Never put down the power tool before the accessories have come to a complete standstill. The rotating accessory can get stuck on the surface and snatch the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not let the power tool run when wearing it on the side. Accidental contact with the rotating accessory could catch your clothes and pull the accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the vents of the power tool. The motor’s blower sucks the dust into the housing, and excessive accumulation of metal powder can cause too much electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks can ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid coolant can cause electric shock or shock.

SETBACK AND WARNINGS

• Setback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or hooked rotating wheel, support plate or brush, pinching or hooking causes a rapid abrasion of the rotating accessory, which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite to the rotation of the accessory at the point of entrapment.
• For example, if a grinding wheel is trapped by the workpiece, the edge of the  scheibe, which burrows into the clamping area material, which allows the wheel to climb out or sprout out. The wheel can either jump towards the operator or away from ihm.
• Setback is the result of improper use of the power tool and/or incorrect operating procedures or incorrect operating conditions and can be avoided by the precautions listed below

a) Keep the power tool firmly in the grip and position your body and arm so that you can withstand setback forces. Always use the help handle, if any, to gain control over the setback or torque response during startup. The operator can control the following torque reactions or recoil forces if the appropriate precautions are taken.
b) Never hold your hand near the rotating accessory. The accessory can beat back over your hand.
c) Do not stop your body in the area where the power tool moves when a setback occurs. The setback pushes the tool in the direction of the movement of the wheel at the point where it gets stuck.
d) Be especially careful when machining corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid impact and jamming of the accessories. Corners, sharp edges or jumps have the tendency to hook the rotating accessories and cause a loss of control or setback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain carving blade or toothed saw blade. Such leaves often lead to setbacks and loss of control.
